You're welcome for the donation and here's another vote for you (July's). Keep up the amazing work! You're going to help sooo many other families and patients as you fight against Ewing's Sarcoma. Big, BIG hugs to you and your family. xoxo

Hi Gina. I am so very sorry to read about your sister, Michele, and her losing her battle with Ewing's Sarcoma. Truly, truly sorry. As Christine mentioned, my friend, Sarie recently lost her daughter, Natalie (14), to complications from Ewing's Sarcoma as well. Natalie was my son's friend and classmate for 9 years, so watching her battle her cancer at the same our Matt (24) battled his NK T-cell lymphoma was so heartbreaking for all of us... although, both Natalie and Matt were incredibly brave and fought every step of the way! Truly inspirations for everyone. And now, like you, Sarie's continuing to fight for a cure. And so are we. We're going to win too!!! :) (A vote for you, of course!)

Hi, Gina. Thanks for your vote and comments on my project page - Raising $60K to Kick Blood Cancer Butt for Matt. I am so sorry to hear about your sister. I know how hard it is to lose a sibling and how the hole can just never be filled. We also have family friends who lost their daughter to complications arising from Ewings Sarcoma. I am with you in that we need to find cures for childhood and young adult cancers. Here's to great success for both of our projects. Keep in touch.

Stuff About Me:

I am volunteering for the Medicus Foundations 2nd Annual Gateway 2 Giving Golf Outing. Although there are 5 separate charities that we are supporting, the one closest to my heart is University Hospital's Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital Pediatric Oncology Research Fund. The reason for this is because of all the love and care my family received while my sister, Michele, was battling Ewing’s Sarcoma at the age of 12 at Rainbows. The Doctors, Nurses, and Social Workers were so kid-friendly, had the greatest bed side manor, and really love their job, the take the time to answer any question/concerns you may have and also will take the time to explain what your loved one is going through, what they will go through and explain it until you understand. Rainbows is a place where you have your own specialized team to fight along side you, who take the time to get to know you personally, who you can count on, who becomes your family.

But do you want to know the reason I think that you should support our event? It is very simple....the Children. Being around Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital, on the oncology floor, for 3 years, you get the opportunity to experience something that you can only experience first hand at Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital….BRAVERY. These children, ranging from newborns, to toddlers, to school age children, to high school young adults, are the faces of BRAVERY...the faces of HOPE…the faces of a FIGHTER...and the faces of LOVE. Their smiles light up the hallway, their crafts line the walls; their laughter fills the hearts of everyone who surrounds them. They are fighting for their lives, while their families are praying for a cure; they deserve a chance to live, a chance to fight a battle that there is a CHANCE of winning. They deserve people to touch their lives the way that they touch others.

So won't you please donate to our event......Do your part to help these children have a chance at life, so that families like my own, do not have to say goodbye to someone we love so much at such a young age. My sister fought with everything she had; now I am continuing her fight to help find a cure for childhood cancers. Will you join me?
